Halloween Sidewalk Lanterns

We live in a neighborhood with no street lights or sidewalks. It’s a very pretty setting and normally I like the lack of light pollution… But no street lights does not make it easy for trick-or-treaters to find their way to our house.

We turn on all our lights on Halloween, but I still feel like have to encourage the trick-or-treaters to stop. I’ve always loved the look of Sidewalk Lanterns and I thought that would be the perfect way to go.

I thought about using mason jars and spray paint like I did with our little luminaries from last year, but I was afraid they might get kicked or broken by small children, plus I wanted more light than the opaque spray paint would give. I found these plastic cups at the party store and knew they would be perfect for the lanterns.The process was super easy and in no time at all, I had 14 little sidewalk lanterns. (Amazon has a 24 pack of these tea lights/flameless candles w/ replacement batteries for around $12.) If I have time, I will probably make a few more.
